Thoughts on current set up please?
 
Well, my car is almost done. Just got off the phone with PCM for Less and they are sending me a tuned computer (while i send them mine)

Heres what the car has.

Freshly redone block because the bearings for the crank/cam were out.

-block is 40 over with new pistons and rings.
-comp 304 cam with 1.6 rockers (without the rockers cam specs are 210/220, .500.510 on 114) not sure how the rockers will change cam specs.
- 52mm TB
-Longtube ceramic coated headers to cat-less y to a magnaflow exhaust.
-2500 B&M Stall trans has shift kit and race cluthes
-under drive pulley
-moroso CAI
-3.73 gears
275/40R17 on OEM SS camaro wheels with Nitto 555 street tires

stock heads and intake

What do you all think, does my car have a change against my buddies 01 WS6 with a 6.0 LQ4 swap with no other mods other than tune? lol

What 1/4mi numbers do you all think my car should be capable of putting down in south TX?

Thats a pretty small stall, I would be at least a 3600 but everything else looks pretty good. Next I would get some head work done

yea, but thats what i have to work with right now... i bout the car from a guy in my area. he had all this stuff on the car already, what screwed me is that i guess they didnt put it together properly and the high volume oil pump sucked the pan dry and it was reading low oil pressure..
so it spun the bearings, dumped a bunch of cash to get it all fixed.

it still needs some body work (paint and some dings) and fix up the interior leather. im thinking LE2 heads and cam and about a 3000 stall 3200 max. i wanna keep it streetable.

That stall should be ok, as that is a relatively small cam

Damn, lookin' good.

blackjack325 12-02-2011 08:20 AM

thanks man, cant wait to drive it again... as soon as i bought it i had to have the motor torn apart cause the low oil pressure caused the bearings to burn out. Now running a stock volume melling pump, hope that puts it back to normal

had the machine shop assemble the short block and balance the internals. i dont think the previous owner went that far. he put it together in his garage.

Your "new" lift on that cam is going to be 533/540. Obviously that will help some. It's a pretty good jump.:nod: You'll probably have 40-50 more horsepower than stock with the cam/headers, exhaust and tune. and that should allow you to beat your friends LQ4. Good luck.;)

blackjack325 12-02-2011 12:37 PM

i hope so, cause hes been talking all kinds of shit cause he pulled from me with it. while my car was on the low oil pressure on stock 16's with bald ass tires and stock gears which are 2.xx untuned!!!
